Does the 4.7 use the same Fumoto valve as the 3.9, 5.2, and 5.9? What are you
guys doing with the tubing, just tucking it away or taking it off?

: Question - What is this Fumoto Valve y'all are talkin' about??

Well, "Fumoto Valve" is the name of the company that makes it.
[ http://www.fumotovalve.com ]

It's basically a valve that replaces your oil drain plug.
Then, when you drain your oil, you just flip a lever and it
opens the valve, you don't have to actually unscrew a drain
plug.

If you change your oil yourself it's incredibly useful,
provided you can figure out which one you need. ;)

See the web site for pictures and such.
